Why do we have a Student Healt & Wellbeing Lead?

Being a parent or carer is one of the
most rewarding and difficult jobs and at times may feel one of the loneliest.
There aren't any instruction manual’s that come with a child, yet we all want what's
best for our children and we can all benefit with a little help from time to
time.

I am here to support you as your
child goes through their schooling at BGCFL

Remember, YOU are the biggest influence in your child's life!

Family and Parent Learning @ BGCFL

There is evidence that parent and
child learning together can have a major impact on how a child learns and
performs at school.
Family and parent learning takes place in many different ways, often in very
informal situations and typically it will always involve parents and children
learning together. This may be through a parent volunteering to support their
child's reading or families attending special activities and events together or
through sessions aimed at parents supporting their child's learning, for
example.
